The 72-cell panels, comprised of Oxford PV’s proprietary perovskite-on-silicon solar cells, can produce up to 20% more energy than a standard silicon panel.
Oxford PV has been developing and working to commercialise this technology since 2014, with a recent module efficiency record of 26.9%

I had the same reaction on the first two. Humanoid robot is just self driving with much more complexity and moving parts. Teledriving, though sounds cool isn't practical, now that we're already starting to reach L4 self-driving. It also looks incredibly unsafe in case the vehicle loses data connection and can't safely come to a stop.

Yes, I think they're required to report any incidents to the DMW.

Summary:

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are using AI to develop a more efficient method for producing green hydrogen. The researchers have been searching for the optimal alloy or metal combination to act as a catalyst, aiming to make the reaction more efficient and affordable. The AI program analyzed over 36,000 metal oxide combinations through virtual simulations and tested the top candidate in the lab. The recommended alloy of ruthenium, chromium, and titanium emerged as the clear winner, demonstrating 20 times better stability and durability than the benchmark metal.

Yes, their data does count battery storage as operating capacity. Isn't that a useful metric though, since batteries will complement the grid during solar downtime?

In a recent interview, they said it'll be one city at a time due to mapping constraints. Also they're looking to lower costs while maintaining safety.

There are around 100,000 EVs in Ethiopia so far.
The Ethiopian government estimates that number will more than quadruple by 2032. That’s largely because the national government took the extraordinary step earlier this year of banning the import of all gas-powered passenger vehicles — becoming the first nation in the world to do so.

Thanks for informing

Tier IV's business model is important in this regard. The company has open-sourced its autonomous driving software, Autoware, so that it can be freely downloaded and used by companies and research institutions.
By involving engineers and researchers from all over the world, Tier IV hopes to rapidly advance autonomous driving technology while keeping development costs down.

This feels so true at this point..

I get creeped out even answering to an AI bot screening phone support calls. Having video AI interviewer is a whole another level of creep.

They do have option for FSD transfers already. Looks like their vision model is getting complex to optimise for HW3 so HW4 would definitely help. But there's still no guarantee FSD on HW4 will work flawlessly, and how much "Elon time" it's gonna take to get there.
